Citizen Radio Controlled Watches

The radio-controlled watches offered by Citizen are truly
remarkable timepieces because of the simple fact that they NEVER display
anything but the perfectly accurate ATOMICLY MEASURED TIME! That’s right, these watches receive radio
frequencies broadcasting the time measured by atomic clocks. The watch will
correct the date and time automatically, and can even adjust to different time
zones with the push of a button.

How it works...

A radio wave is transmitted early in the morning that sets
the time for you each day – talk about convenience! In addition to the easy of use associated
with never having to wind a watch, Radio Controlled Watches are accurate to
within 10−9
seconds per day.

Your watch will automatically receive the signal, so there
are no technical barriers you need to worry about. The only thing you really
need to be concerned with is choosing which mode or time you want
displayed. Additionally you need to make
sure that the watch is in an optimal position to receive the radio signal. Let me elaborate these both points to make
sure the benefits of these amazing watches are clearly apparent.

If you are seriously considering the purchase of a Citizen watch, I highly suggest checking out some of the insider sites, which can give you great deals.

Time Settings

Citizen Radio Controlled watches feature several different
modes, with a press button adjustment marked with an M in most instances. Pressing
the M button will allow you to filter through these various modes, each of
which allow you to control a specific type of timekeeping, such as setting the time
zone. For example, you could set your
Citizen automatically with the click of a button to instantly display either
EUR time, or JPN (Japan) time, just to name a few.

Other Citizen models have you pull out the crown to select
the world time of your choice. Most
World Edition Perpetual A-T models allow you to choose the time zone in this
way. On a side note, the Limited Edition
World Perpetual A-T is one of the most beautiful Radio Controlled Watches
offered by Citizen. The style and
functionality offered in this watch is truly spectacular.

The Citizen watch will automatically correct to the corresponding
mode you have selected by receiving a radio transmission according to your
specific selection. This process takes about 2-8 minutes, and will see your
second hand bouncing around. The watch
will indicate time normally for the rest of the day after it receives the
signal early in the morning.

Getting a good signal

Should you have problems, you can manually prompt the watch
to receive the signal at anytime by pressing and holding the B button. This is
when you will notice the second hand bouncing as referenced in the previous
paragraph. The larger the second hand bounces
to the right near the 15-second mark, the stronger the signal reception you are
receiving. As you move the watch in different
directions it will be obviously apparent which direction is receiving the
strongest signal.

If you cannot obtain a signal for some reason, the watch
will default back to the most recent signal time settings. Common places where I can’t find a signal are
similar to a cell phones – planes, trains, subway, concrete buildings,
etc. There are specifically problems at
times in large cities, but for the most part you will eventually find a
location that will receive a signal.

Selected Models

Most of the radio-controlled watches you will find range
between fully functioning professional timepieces, such as Citizen Diver
watches or Citizen Perpetual A-T watches, and more simplified and fashion
oriented watches, such as the Sapphire. The main question I ask when someone
asks me for a recommendation is how they plan on using it.

If you’re thinking about some serious yachting,
flying, or diving then a radio- controlled watch such as the Skyhawk A-T will
be the perfect choice.

This technology is combined with Citizen’s world renowned
Eco Drive technology and together in models featured in their most recent
“Unstoppable” ad campaign. The diverse
array of Citizen watches featuring Radio Controlled timekeeping ensure that
every consumer will find a watch to suite their specific need. Other notable models include, the Chrono-Time
A-T, the Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T, and my personal favorite the Limited Edition
World Perpetual A-T. These are
incredible watches showcasing the combination of style and functionality that
has become the trademark of the Citizen watch company.

For those more fashionably inclined, then I would suggest
the Sapphire or the Limited Edition World perpetual with a genuine crocodile
strap, two of my favorite formal timepieces offered by Citizen.
